If you're looking at the beach from Island Vibe backpackers, it's just off to the left past Phantoms. it is very easy to get to.the town is not very big so there is alot of parking.can get quite busy in the tourist season(mid dec to mid feb)but when the season is about to start up is the best time to go.

A nice wave - Kitchens is a nice wave, but not world class. It's better than it looks from the beach. It's a long paddle from the beach, breaking over a fairly long reef/semi point bottom. Can have nice walls and the odd tube, its kind of wedgy as well. I can't remember which tide is best, but it does get good, usually when the point is going off. Don't leave anything on the beach-I lost my towel.
